About Me
- Name: KPaffenroth
- Location: Cornwall on Hudson, New York, United States
I am a professor of religious studies, and the author of several books on the Bible and theology. I grew up in New York, Virginia, and New Mexico. I attended St. John's College, Annapolis, MD (BA, 1988), Harvard Divinity School (MTS, 1990), and the University of Notre Dame (PhD, 1995). I live in upstate New York with my wife and two wonderful kids. Starting in 2006, I had one of those strange midlife things, and turned my analysis towards horror films and literature. I have written Gospel of the Living Dead: George Romero's Visions of Hell on Earth (Baylor, 2006) - WINNER, 2006 Bram Stoker Award; Dying to Live: A Novel of Life among the Undead (Permuted Press, 2007); Orpheus and the Pearl(Magus Press, 2008); and Dying to Live: Life Sentence(Permuted Press, 2008).

Kim,
Question spurred by pure curiosity, not petulance (pinky promise!). The math on the slushy seems off...on Saturday the total was 274 submissions (156/95/23). On Monday it was 275 (150/100/25), which means that of the 6 read in that time, 5 were rejected and 2 were 'maybed', one submission added to the previous total. On Thursday, we had 268 total (129/110/29). 10 rejected, 4 'maybed', and 7 submissions having disappeared completely.
Are these the 'stories of another anthology' you were talking about, or duplicates?
Like I said, a question, in no no no way a complaint or challenge.
Pending some other method, I have to estimate the number of rejected: I look at the number in the Inbox (=TBR), the number in another folder (=Maybe), and then I use the number of "Sent" as approximately = to Maybe + Rejected.
I love your math. It's the sort that will make my wife's sister (PHD in Math) pull her hair out in frustration.
Sorry, I don't know how to separate the answers to miscellaneous inquiries from the rejections in the "Sent" folder.
At any rate, a tip o' the hat to you for getting past the halfway mark.
